Jonny Hayes

[Ten Caat]

I thought it was said back in summer that Dadia is purely a right back or right sided CH, can't play wing back

Whereas Devlin was mainly used as a RB in a back 4 at Livi but can play RWB (or as we have since found out, as a RCB too)

I think it was said somewhere that he was the opposite, with pretty solid defensive stats to back that up 

Im pretty sure Mini brought it up at the  time

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Don’t mind changing formations about but I have absolutely never seen Aberdeen have a good run of form with a defence that’s anything other than a back 4. 5s and 3s just never result in good runs for us.

Loved hayes at Aberdeen but he was fucking awful today

The absolute managerial GOAT, SAF, rarely played a back 3. Recall once he played Tattie alongside McLeish and Miller at Ibrox, and Dobbin ditto at Parkheed, and never once at Man U.

It’s a formation that requires players who have grown up in that strategy, not chucked together journeymen like wot we have

Nobody knows. I'm not even sure he exists.

Mental that Ryan Duncan at LWB is a better option, heck give Hamilton an opportunity, might be young but can't be any worse than hayes was today

He’s been absolutely honking since he came back. Was that 3 or 4 seasons ago? For some reason nobody ever mentions it. He can’t actually kick the ball properly.

I’ve not seen anyone mention it either but tough to watch. Couldn’t believe he lasted 90 yesterday 

[jamiesd]

Aye he is a shadow of his former self.  Never a starter in a million years.

Didnt we win 7 games on the spin with a back 5 last season?

He’s not got the legs to go by anyone anymore but you can’t fault the wee bastard’s determination and work ethic.

i fully agree, but he can't pass or even put in a decent cross. I loved Jonny but like McGinn should never of game back.

Handy when shoring up the midfield last 10 mins maybe but that's it.

Yes but that was just a conspiracy from the rest of Scotland to make us appoint Robson

Dont know if this has already been covered but it’s absolutely mental that our only width is him and Devlin, both of which are very poor going forward.

Was Devlin a wing back at Livingston? If not it seems very strange that we have signed two out and out right backs then proceeded to build our whole team around a formation that relies heavily on wingbacks to provide any sort of width.

Devlin was mor eof your standard full back for Livi but did get up the pitch quite a bit, lot of crosses for them but he did have a big lump to aim at.

Devlin was probably happy to sign for us in the knowledge that he’d be played out of position, given he probably tripled his wages.

Hayes has been a magnificent player for Aberdeen for over 8 seasons now and if McGarry had remained fit, I don’t think we’d be seeing much of the Dubliner but it’s sad to see how much he’s regressed.

Stands to reason though, he’s 36, FFS. A return to ICT probably more in keeping with his current skillset

Or Dadia is more suited to being in a 4 and I believe he doesn't have much pace.

[JakieBastard]

Or Dadia will probably be on the front line in downtown Jerusalem soon enough. Might get a wee bit of compo like you do when players are at African cup of Nations.

Banned from driving for a year, caught doing 125mph, overtook the Old Bill 😂😂

[strachanmcgheegoal]

And everyone said his legs were going…

[RAZOR]

Aberdeen FC star Jonny Hayes has been banned from driving after racing past police at more than 125mph on his way to training.

 

The former Celtic footballer left police in an unmarked BMW “for dead” and he overtook them on the AWPR and accelerated away at eye-watering speeds – despite a yellow weather warning being in place at the time.

 

Famed for his lightning pace at the height of his career, the 36-year-old sprinted down Union Street at the conclusion of the case after being allowed to leave court via a side door by social workers.

 

What a last paragraph that is 🤣

[Millertime]

What a complete idiot

[Reed or deed]

Aye i agree. Fucking lunatic

What a stupid prick. 

 

[milne_afc]

Should be sacked. Scummy thing to do.

[1903Fitba]

Should be arrested for the fucking trainers he wears. 

[eeps]

Ledge

[sooth_stander]

Offence happened in January too, during a yellow weather warning. Double stupid.

Noticed he has previous for this too, in 2016.
